After 10 days, the exhibition celebrating 100 years of Vietnam Revolutionary Press, Quang Ninh Press History and the province's outstanding achievements not only attracted a large number of people and tourists, but also left many deep impressions. The exhibition has truly spread the spirit, history, and values ​​of journalism, educating traditions, and nurturing passions.

People and tourists learn about the artifacts.

The 1kw Thomson transmitter (France) of the Radio and Television Station is one of more than 100 documents and artifacts displayed at the exhibition, associated with the history of Quang Ninh journalism in general, and radio and television in particular. With the province's investment resources, the investment in a new 1kw Thomson transmitter worth 60,000 USD, along with the UMATIC image editing system considered the most modern at that time; although there were only 3 cameras DXC1200, DXC1600, DXC1800, it was also a great determination and effort, clearly demonstrating the attention of the Provincial Party Committee, People's Council, and Provincial People's Committee to propaganda work.

Thanks to that, on September 2, 1983, the first Quang Ninh television program was broadcast on channel 12VHF. With this event, Quang Ninh became the first province in the North to have a television program.

The exhibition attracted a large number of people and tourists to visit and experience.

Old newspaper pages, time-worn cameras, or radios and televisions that are no longer present in daily life... However, each document and artifact is telling the people, tourists and the public about the stories of journalists, the flow of history, and the constant development. These are valuable documents that affirm a century of fighting, associated with each stage of construction and development, moving forward with the nation. The priceless assets displayed at this exhibition once again affirm that journalists are soldiers on the ideological front.

Mr. Nguyen Xuan Cuong (Hong Gai Ward, Ha Long City) said: This is the first time I have visited a press exhibition. Through this exhibition, I have a deeper understanding of the formation, development and construction of the press in Quang Ninh in particular and Vietnam in general. Not only does it bring to the people, tourists and the public stories about journalism through documents and events, the exhibition also once again affirms the courage, ethics and responsibility of revolutionary journalists through the ages.

This exhibition also introduces to the people and tourists many valuable photos about the working process of Quang Ninh journalists in each period. Those are the stories behind each newspaper page, each scene photo, or each newsreel that have contributed to reviving the spirit, courage, as well as the social responsibility of revolutionary journalists.

In addition to valuable documents, vivid images and artifacts associated with the development stages of Quang Ninh journalism, the exhibition also focuses on designing a scientific, methodical and attractive display space with the following spaces: 100 years of Vietnamese revolutionary journalism; history of Quang Ninh journalism; outstanding achievements of Quang Ninh province; virtual reality studio area.

I also got to hear stories about the careers of veteran journalists during the extremely difficult, yet extremely heroic years. That is the motivation for me to continue trying to improve my knowledge, improve my skills, and practice my ethics to become a brave reporter and journalist.
